Editor's review

Yuketen present the Sports Sneaker Moc in Ox Brown alongside their Spring/Summer '17 campaign. These are designed to combine the timeless comfort of a traditional moccasin with the aesthetic of a '70s-inspired tennis shoe. They are completely handmade in Maine, USA, using five asymmetrical pieces of full-grain American-tanned leather; a 'flesh-out' construction technique has been utilised in order to retain the grain side of the leather and provide a thickness, strength and longevity not found with lesser suedes. The Sneaker Moc is only partially lined, with full-leather insoles, leather tucks, and steel shank reinforcements for increased fitting in the arch and heel, forming a stable bridge between the heel and ball of the foot. A sports crepe sole unit beneath completes the low-profile silhouette and supplies excellent shock absorption and a soft and grippy tread. The same style is also available in Perla.
